| // Field trials allow webrtc clients (such as Chrome) to turn on feature code |
| // in binaries out in the field and gather information with that. |
| // |
| // WebRTC clients MUST provide an implementation of: |
| // |
| // std::string webrtc::field_trial::FindFullName(const std::string& trial). |
| // |
| // Or link with a default one provided in: |
| // |
| // system_wrappers/system_wrappers.gyp:field_trial_default |
| // |
| // |
| // They are designed to wire up directly to chrome field trials and to speed up |
| // developers by reducing the need to wire APIs to control whether a feature is |
| // on/off. E.g. to experiment with a new method that could lead to a different |
| // trade-off between CPU/bandwidth: |
| // |
| // 1 - Develop the feature with default behaviour off: |
| // |
| // if (FieldTrial::FindFullName("WebRTCExperimenMethod2") == "Enabled") |
| // method2(); |
| // else |
| // method1(); |
| // |
| // 2 - Once the changes are rolled to chrome, the new code path can be |
| // controlled as normal chrome field trials. |
| // |
| // 3 - Evaluate the new feature and clean the code paths. |
| // |
| // Notes: |
| // - NOT every feature is a candidate to be controlled by this mechanism as |
| // it may require negotation between involved parties (e.g. SDP). |
| // |
| // TODO(andresp): since chrome --force-fieldtrials does not marks the trial |
| // as active it does not gets propaged to renderer process. For now one |
| // needs to push a config with start_active:true or run a local finch |
| // server. |
| // |
| // TODO(andresp): find out how to get bots to run tests with trials enabled. |
